‘Edge of Tomorrow’ Is Certified Fresh At 90%

‘Edge of Tomorrow’ Is Certified Fresh At 90%
Tim Ryan — Rotten Tomatoes

On paper, a high-concept blend of Groundhog Day and Starship Troopers sounds like a recipe for disaster. In practice, critics say Edge of Tomorrow is a thoroughly entertaining sci-fi action flick with a sharp sense of humor and muscular acting from Tom Cruise. With the planet under attack from alien invaders, Major William Cage (Cruise) is sent into battle—and killed instantly. However, he finds himself in a time loop, reliving the same battle scenario and gradually discovering how to defeat the enemy. The pundits say the Certified Fresh Edge of Tomorrow is a rare beast—it’s a pulpy,…

Fan Reactions To the Upcoming ‘Stargate’ Movie Trilogy

Fan Reactions To the Upcoming ‘Stargate’ Movie Trilogy
Darren — GateWorld

“Sir? We’re here to inform you that you’ve been … reactivated.”

The studio may have an uphill battle on its hands when it comes to convincing millions of Stargate fans around the world to line up for aStargate reboot. What does the world think of the big announcement today from MGM and Warner Bros.? We turned to Twitter for some knee-jerk reactions on Day 1.

Click through to see all the tweets.

Personally, I’m completely torn. I hate that the new trilogy will ignore everything that has come before. I love Stargate as it was and wish to continue in that continuity. This just won’t be the…

J.J. Tweets Photo From ‘Star Wars’ Set, Asks People to Quit Leaking Photos From ‘Star Wars’ Set

J.J. Tweets Photo From ‘Star Wars’ Set, Asks People to Quit Leaking Photos From ‘Star Wars’ Set
@bad_robot

There you have it folks, J.J. wants you to knock it off and quit making ridiculous claims that the Falcon is in this movie. But wait, why would Abrams tweet this as a photo? Look closely. Go ahead, look back up there.

That’s the holo-chess board from inside the Falcon. This may be the greatest things Abrams has ever done. Kathleen Kenedy did promise us that part of the negotiation with Abrams is that the production would be a bit more transparent and not quite Abrams usual mystery box fair.

My personal opinion is that the…

‘Hercules’ Trailer 2 — Lion Hats are In!

‘Hercules’ Trailer 2 — Lion Hats are In!

This trailer feels like it’s chalk full of spoilers if you ask me. I suspect that’s because they’re trying to generate interest in the film and are feeling like it’s not gaining a lot of traction. I’m certainly not all that impressed. It just feels a bit overwrought in my opinion.

The film is due to release to theaters on July 25.

Rumor: Commissioner Gordon May Appear In ‘Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice’

Rumor: Commissioner Gordon May Appear In ‘Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice’
Isaac Feldberg — We Got This Covered

Zack Snyder is hard at work right now on Warner Bros.’ hotly anticipated Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, a blockbuster which appears to be primed to include just about every DC Comics character under the sun. Now, we’re hearing from fansite Batman-on-Filmthat Commissioner James Gordon might be making an appearance as well.

Surely it’s not unreasonable to think that one of Batman’s closest allies will show up in Dawn of Justice. And that’s exactly what B-o-F has heard from one of its longtime sources.

I mean, why not, right? It’s all good. We’ll just throw a little bit of this and a…

‘Jupiter Ascending’ Abruptly Moved from July of This Year to February of 2015

‘Jupiter Ascending’ Abruptly Moved from July of This Year to February of 2015
Pamela McClintock — The Hollywood Reporter

At the 11th hour, Lana and Andy Wachowski‘s sci-fi epic Jupiter Ascending is being pushed back from July 18 to Feb. 6, 2015.

Yeah, we know that all good films are released in February… all good films… Sigh, this does not bode well.

On the other hand:

To boot, the February corridor is one of the quietest of the year, although Hollywood studios and exhibitors are trying to change that. Warners released Lego Movie in February, when it opened to a massive $69.1 million. It went on to gross $461.9 million worldwide.

This is true, but I definitely died a little on the inside on hearing this…

Uh, guys, it’s the Millennium Falcon! (I might be geeking out just a little right now!)

Uh, guys, it’s the Millennium Falcon! (I might be geeking out just a little right now!)
TMZ.com

Brace yourselves Nerf Herders ... TMZ obtained a photo of what looks like the beginning stages of Han Solo’s famous spaceship the Millennium Falcon!!!

Sources close to the Rebel Alliance tell us the pics were taken inside an uber-secret location in the UK—where different set pieces, props and creatures are being constructed.

This is actually, really happening you guys!

Lupita Nyong’o and Gwendoline Christie Join ‘Star Wars Episode VII’

Lupita Nyong’o and Gwendoline Christie Join ‘Star Wars Episode VII’
Russ Fischer — /Film

Those who were upset that the first big wave of Star Wars Episode VII casting did not include more women can breathe a bit easier. Lupita Nyong’o (Non-Stop, and winner of the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for 12 Years a Slave) and Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones) have just been added to the cast. 

Both women have been tipped for roles in the film, and they are both excellent additions to the cast. Lupita Nyong’o proved her abilities as a powerhouse performer with gut-wrenching scenes in 12 Years a Slave, for which she took home an Oscar.

In other words, everybody chill, you guys,…

Trailer for ‘Left Behind’ Remake Starring Nicholas Cage

Trailer for ‘Left Behind’ Remake Starring Nicholas Cage

This is not going to be good. Without going in to the terrible theology behind all this, it looks like a souped up version of the same cheese that powered the original Left Behind. You can put as much paint as you want on something, but in the end, painting a Ford Pinto is not going to make it a good car. So don’t expect a new coat of paint on the Left Behind series to do anything for the film either.

But I found this trailer good for a little bit of fun this morning — although I never really outright laughed. I think Grimmace might better describe my reaction to this trailer.

Liam Neeson in ‘A Walk Among The Tombstones’ Trailer

Liam Neeson in ‘A Walk Among The Tombstones’ Trailer

Hey look, it’s Liam Neeson playing the grizzled action hero, who would have thought?

But seriously, this does look kind of good. Pluse the writer, Frank Scott, wrote one of my favorite films — Minority Report, so maybe there’s something good here.

The film arrives in theaters on September 19. Check out the trailer!
